Guide to visa processing times
To find out our most recent visa application processing performance, use the interactive tool below. Select the country and location where you made your visa application, then click on the ’find out’ button to see the results.
You can use this information as a guide to how long it may take to process your application, although it cannot be used as a guarantee of your individual visa application processing time. This is because visa applications are assessed individually and individual circumstances can mean processing times may vary. We also advise you to check the announcements we make on the local websites run by our commercial partners.
Our performance against standards
We aim to process each visa application within a target period but we cannot guarantee that your visa application will be completed within this time. The unique circumstances of each individual case may result in longer decision times.
Information about our customer service standards, which includes our processing time targets and a list of frequently asked questions can be found on this website.
